In our February, 2010 newsletter I shared a research study that predicted the reduction of 100,000 cases of breast and colon cancer annually in the US as well as a 75% reduction of cancer deaths, with adequate vitamin D levels. As more research studies continue to be published, I am becoming increasingly impressed by its health giving abilities. Also, I see a vast improvement in my family and friends, after they begin to take it.Once again, the same distinguished researchers, have made an assessment of the global impact appropriate vitamin D levels would have on cancer reduction and prevention. Keep in mind, this does not include a reduction of other chronic diseases linked to vitamin D deficiency including heart disease, depression, hypertension, arthritis, asthma, multiple sclerosis and others.Cedric F. Garland, Dr.P.H., cancer prevention specialist at the Moores Cancer Center at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and colleagues estimate that 250,000 cases of colorectal cancer and 350,000 cases of breast cancer could be prevented worldwide by increasing intake of vitamin D3, particularly in countries north of the equator.A total of 600,000 cases a year of breast and...more

Lung cancer and mesothelioma are two deadly diseases caused by the inhalation of asbestos particles in the workplace. Unfortunately, it can take several decades for symptoms to become present which can delay the mesothelioma diagnosis. One interesting study that examined occupational disease is called, Computed tomography screening for lung cancer in asbestos-exposed workers by M.Tiitola - Lung Cancer, Volume 35, Issue 1, Pages 17-22. Here is an excerpt: Abstract - We conducted a computed tomography (CT) screening for lung cancer in a high-risk population. Six hundred and two workers (3881 years, 97% smokers) with asbestos-related occupational disease were screened using spiral CT and chest radiography. The national cancer registry was checked for possible false negative cases. The screening detected 111 patients with non-calcified nodules >0.5 cm in diameter and 66 of them were referred for further hospital examination. We found five lung cancers (106 false positive cases) with a histological spectrum similar to the national, natural occurrence of the disease (two adeno, one squamous cell, one anaplastic and one metastatic carcinoma) and one peritoneal mesothelioma. Three cases...more
